Six years of civil war has left most of Syria, a country once known for its ancient cities, in ruins.
On the battlefield, Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad’s forces continue to fight a loose, and increasingly diminished collection of anti-government rebels. While in the country’s east, coalition forces have crippled a once fearsome ISIS, driving the group from its strongholds.
War continues to rattle much of the country, and peace remains a notion far off in the distance, but one thing has come into focus with each passing day: Assad isn’t going anywhere.
To see what life is like under Assad’s rule, VICE New sent Isobel Yeung to Syria just as the final bombs were falling over Aleppo.

As Syrian regime bombs started to drop over his hometown of Homs, Mohammed Jassem gathered his two children and wife, and set out for the nearest border. They followed a handful of Syrians fleeing the conflict to the town of Sa’ad Nayel in Lebanon, just west of the border. There they set up a makeshift tent on open farmland, across from a small river.
The plan was to stay there for a few months until the fighting died down. It’s been seven years.
Today, Jassem pays $100 a month to rent 200 square feet of property in a refugee camp known as 003. His family has grown by two, and he’s drowning in debt, behind on three months of rent, barely earning any money with the few shifts of manual labor he’s able to secure.
Lebanon has more Syrian refugees per capita than any other country in the world — roughly 1.5 million. But the country, mired in its own crises, has struggled to provide much in the way of lasting support to its neediest neighbors. Instead, many refugees like Jassem have grown weary of the poor living conditions and limited opportunities for work.
It’s gotten so bad, he’s decided to do something he once thought unthinkable: take the Syrian government at its word and accept the plan announced last July to repatriate refugees.
Parts of Syria may still be at war. Its infrastructure may be decimated. Jassem’s home in Homs is certainly no longer there, flattened by Russian airstrikes just days after he fled. But he’s joining 90,000 others Syrians who’ve already gone back anyway, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In January, Jassem applied for one-way b...

The Syrian civil war has affected the lives of millions of children and displaced over 50,000 of them thus far. These are children who in one moment were playing with their toys and the next are struggling to accept the destruction of everything they once loved. They have no involvement in the politics that led to this war. They are just kids.
Kids whose innocence is forever tainted by the horrors of warfare. And many of these kids are in the brink of losing their lives due to lack of food and medical supplies. There is no good reason their lives should be cut so short and I can’t just simply ignore it because it is happening on the other side of the world. This is OUR world, our brothers and our sisters. What happens to them is happening to us.
I know many people would rather turn the other way but if it weren’t for people who care enough to help, thousands more would die. Every contribution helps save a life in Syria and represents the love and empathy this world needs to heal this planet. So, me and my partner created this charity to donate to two organizations that are actively saving children on a daily basis.

A supposed chemical weapons warehouse of Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (formerly Jabhat al-Nursa) near city of al-Atarib in western Aleppo exploded on April 20. According to pro-government sources, the warehouse was one of the sites where militants were arming rockets and shells with toxic materials.
Members of the notorious propaganda organization “White Helmets” reportedly recovered the bodies of at least six people killed in the explosion. Three injured persons were evacuated to nearby hospitals.
The version of the events provided by pro-militant media outlets argues that the targeted facility was belonging to a local pharmaceutical company known as “al-Khalil” and stored “baby milk” only. Pro-opposition media added that the explosion was likely caused by an improvised explosive device. Nonetheless, it remains unclear who would need to blow up a baby milk storage facility.
